Single rides on the V-Line cost $1.00. Students and seniors with an ID are $0.50. Half fare cards are available for those with qualifying disabilities. Monthly passes can be purchased at City Hall for $30/month.

The V-Line is a deviated-fixed route. This means that our buses have set routes around town; however, they may 'deviate' or leave the route to drop off or pick up passengers. There are a few restrictions to the deviations. They cannot go further than 3/4 mile from the route, there can only be one deviation per hour, and deviations must be scheduled 24 hours in advance. Deviation Application

There is ample overflow parking available within walking distance to the DASH pick-up in Valpo. Riders can park along Lincolnway or on Indiana between Campbell Street and Napoleon Street. There is also a parking garage located three blocks away at the Porter County Admin Building (155 Indiana Ave)

The ChicaGo DASH and V-Line are both public transportation services provided by the City of Valparaiso. The City hires a contractor through a competitive bid process to operate the two services. Currently, Ride Right, LLC operates both the DASH and the V-Line. The contractor hires all drivers, performs maintenance on the vehicles, and oversees the day-to-day operation of the buses while the City handles all grant funding, marketing, and administrative duties.

Pets are prohibited on both the ChicaGO DASH and V-Line this includes pets on leashes, unleashed, in carriers, purses, or carried on an individual; however, individuals with a disability may be accompanied by a service animal.

No. Buses stop at designated stops only. This is to ensure buses stay on time and stop only where it is safe to do so. The V-Line does do deviations which allow for a rider to be picked up or dropped off at another location off route (certain restrictions apply, see deviations page for more information).

No. Alcohol is strictly prohibited on board any City of Valparaiso bus. Bringing alcohol on board a bus or being intoxicated is a violation of the Code of Conduct policy and may result in the person being removed from the vehicle or suspended from using the bus services.
